Why, with all the troubles and travails our fellow Americans continue to suffer, are we spending $150K on real bridges to nowhere? Granted, my reference is piddly little old New Hampshire…granted it’s a pretty bridge (however useless it might be for improving the lives of the locals) and granted, it’s only $150K; chump change to the rich and powerful to be sure.
That a “bailout” of this magnitude can’t stand on its own merits and must – instead – be buried in an FAA funding bill speaks volumes. That Democrats running Congress these days, desperate to avoid being fired by the electorate, would continue spending money we don’t have…even if it means taking food off the tables of an already economically devastated “class” of Americans…only proves they have nothing but their own interests in mind, and not one clue about the effect of their actions on the people they no longer adequately represent.
Despite the fact that George Bush is 2 years gone, and 4 (technically) from having had much GOP-style impact on legislation, Obama just can’t seem to quit him.
You’d think the Democrats would be doing the snoopy dance during this election cycle. They have accomplished so many of the things Obama promised he’d do during the campaign (and his two Chamber Maids, Reid and Pelosi, guaranteed they’d support) so long as Americans elected Democrats to office. We did, [...]
We have returned to the days of slave trading and the Trail of Tears according to Patrick Kennedy, (D RI-1) and offspring number three of three from the late Edward M. (Teddy) Kennedy. Kennedy seems to be under the impression that America (the Arizona part of it at least) is [...]
Former President Bill Clinton, while speaking at an event sponsored by the Center for American Progress Action Fund recently, said this: [W]ords have consequences as much as actions do, and what we advocate, commensurate with our position and responsibility, we have to take responsibility for. Mr. Clinton makes an excellent [...]
It’s not always easy for me to tip my hat to the left. They, by and large, have acted as if they were so wrapped up in their status as “The Majority” that they had forgotten what their jobs were; represent their Constituents on issues that matter to them…in Washington [...]
I had a boss, years ago, whose favorite saying was “Doing something is always better than doing nothing.” That was effective in some cases, especially in a manufacturing environment where a down line is always far worse than a crippled one. And while it might have been used successfully more [...]
The moment in history from which our so-called “Tea Party” movement of today takes its name was a singular event; refusing to pay Parliament’s levy on tea (because doing so would be to acknowledge Britain’s authority to tax the Colonies) was the Colonists’ way of standing up against the tyranny [...]
We’ve been telling Obama and the Democrats that we are not pleased with what they’re doing. We kicked them in the shins with NJ and VA, and then we beat them over the head with Massachusetts just to make sure we drove the point home. Obama himself JUST responded by [...]
